Next quarter, it's going to drop even more and we want all those agents who are fed up with NAR, working with us. We told you the revolution has begun. Let's open the flood gates. We can do everything they can do without having to report to the most corrupt and profitable trade association on the planet.

Welcome 2025! We know you won't be perfect and you will most likely bring both tears and laughter. But with gratitude and faith, we wish all our friends, family, agents, and clients a blessed, safe and prosperous new year! We have never been more committed to excellence and we're here for you!

NAR is done, their business model is dead and their stranglehold on residential real estate has been broken. North Texas is setting precedence by decoupling membership with access; and it is breaking loose nationwide. We are seizing this opportunity to grow and create a brand that serves only our clients and not a trade association. REALTOR® is a made up word. It means nothing. We are licensed, independent, fiduciary agents and our code of ethics is above reproach. We can do everything they can do without 3rd party interference. To clients and agents, this is the best thing to happen in residential real estate in a long, long time. I'm passionate about it and I'd love to talk to anyone who is interested in learning more.

In response to the suit filed today - I've made my primary living as an independent Texas real estate broker for many years. I never wanted to join the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Ever. I cringe when someone calls me Realtor. I worked hard to get here, and I'm an independent Texas broker. But you have to join NAR, or you simply cannot compete in the residential space due to their anti-trust hold on key box access. And when I join, every single agent I sponsor also has to join as does any other firm where I become broker of record. Whether they want to join or not. They have led the entire industry astray, been found guilty of all manner of offenses and today consumers have less trust than ever. Many don't see value in agents because the bar for licensing is lower than ever and the commissions are higher than ever. But when you talk to the right agent it becomes clear why you need one and hired them. Experience matters now more than ever. The reason for this post is to clarify and distance from NAR> My first responsibility lies to you and to the Texas Real Estate License Act. I am a fiduciary and I do not report to NAR, nor do they speak for me. I am here to serve my clients exactly as they need to be served according to state law. My trade association is not a regulatory body and they have no lawmaking authority. Consumers are the reason the license exists and protecting your interests is always my first concern. Passing the license test is nowhere near enough to prove competency in real estate. Interview multiple agents and you'll see.

The lawsuit claims that the requirement that all Realtors and brokers in Michigan be members of NAR is an antitrust violation.

No matter what happens, I'm still proud to be an American. Happy Independence Day USA. A couple days early as a public safety reminder: Be safe, have fun and remember - real estate is like fireworks. It always works out best when you use professionals!

Some of you may not know that I've been specializing in working with older adults for many years now. I work so much by referral and I don't post a lot on social media, so there's also that! If you have a loved one who might be ready to move out of the family home, you need experts. With the resources I have accumulated, there are very few things we haven't seen. I NEVER charge for consulting, no matter how much time we take or whether we ever do business. It's my passion. Call me first and I'll do my best to save you time, money and heartache.
